Whistle Down The Wind is Lloyd Webber's stage adaptation of the 1961 novel by Mary Hayley Bell, which was also made into a film starring Hayley Mills and Alan Bates. The stage version is set in the American deep south just before Christmas, and follows three children who discover a man hiding in the barn on the farm where they live. Thinking him to be Jesus, they hide him from the adults in their community to protect him from harm, not realising that he is in fact an escaped criminal.
